[DANGER-ZONE]

ARMAMENT:
Ground attack armament consists normally of two 30 mm DEFA 552A guns in fuselage, each with 125 rounds of incendiary, high-explosive or armour-piercing ammunition, and two 454 kg (1,000 lb) bombs, or an AS 30 air-to-surface missile under the fuselage and 454 kg (1,000 lb) bombs under the wings. Total external load, on five hardpoints 4,000 kg (8,818 lb). Alternative underwing stores include combined tank/bomb carriers, each with 500 litres (132 US gallons; 110 Imp gallons ) of fuel and 907 kg (2,000 lb) of bombs; JL-100 pods, each with 250 litres (66 US gallons; 55 Imp gallons) of fuel and 18 rockets; jettisonable underwing fuel tanks. For interception duties, one Matra R.530 air-to-air missile can be carried under fuselage, with optional guns and two Matra Magic missiles.

BOMB LOADING CAPABILTY:

ECM pod under bally,and bombs under fuel tank.

MISSILES:

this picture showing PAF mirages bomb loading capability as well as missile under bally marta-530 radar guided air-to-air missile.

which is drawn in this painting.

PAKDEF.info states that PAF also used SUPER MARTA-530f on mirage too,which is used by india on mirage-2000 as well.
its range was 25 km.

The Super 530F missile has been in service with the French Air Force since 1980, with production ending in 1985. Development of the Super 530D started in 1979 and the missile entered service in 1987. It is believed that a total of 2,370 Super 530F and Super 530D missiles has been ordered. R530 missiles were used by the Argentine Air Force in the Falklands/Malvinas conflict in 1982. Exports of the three versions have been made to several countries, including Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Columbia, Egypt, Gabon, India, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Pakistan, South Africa, Switzerland, Venezuela and Zaire.

ROSE upgrade mirage can also load Pakistan made RAAD and H4.
long range cruise missile and bomb.

RAAD

ASM AM-39 Exocet

530 D or Matra 550 ?

one is a Semi active BVR and the other is a 90 aspect IR missile

You sure PAF has 530 D??

[DANGER-ZONE]

sir.FATMAN said once that PAF mirage ROSE posses the BVR capability and it uses RSAF R-darter copy made by pakistan.
but where it is loaded,under wing launcher can only launch INF-RED seeking missile.


AND

why PAC didn't installed canard to ROSE upgrade,was that a expensive
Upgrade.?

 

[MaXimMaRz]

not marta 530d.
PAF used M-530 & 530f

read it here Pakistan Military Consortium :: www.PakDef.info

And what about Matra 550 ?

 

[blain2]

We do not have any 530Ds. Those are in any case very limited BVR AAMs.

ROSEII and III are the exact same thing. The only difference was that the two upgrades were done in different batches. The first batch was called ROSE II and 2nd one ROSE III.

Contrary to the first post which shows AM-39 for ROSE I aircraft, the AM-39 is only mated to Mirage Vs with Agave radar. These Mirages have not undergone the ROSE upgrade because they are specialized for maritime attack role.

sir do you know any thing with strong reference about BVR capability of mirages.
or details of griffo m3 radar.

and is this rose1's cokpit.

Mirage also use a guided air to ground weapon by the name MUPSOW imported from South Africa and tested extensively by PAF during the 90's which is a long range surgical strike weapon. The BVR capability is very much there with appropriate options. That's all i can say

you must be talking about this one STAND OF WEAPON.

 

[Storm Force]

I read some where these mirages are actually SUB SONIC ie cannot acheive mach 1.

In other words the first super sonic mirage was the F1 which flew in the 1970s 10 years after the mirage 5

Also that even TODAY PAF deploys over 170 mirage 3/5 AS PART of its FRONTLINE FLEET.

pac HAVE DONE very well to stil keep them flying after 40 years of service

 

[Dazzler]

Not quite. The above one is Raptor

This is Mupsow

Description:

The Kentron MUPSOW (MUlti-Purpose, Stand-Off Weapon) is a multi-purpose, surgical-strike weapon, designed to neutralize enemy targets such as airfields, bunkers and command-and-control centres at stand-off ranges. Pinpoint accuracy is achieved by using an advanced navigation and terminal guidance technology (data link, choice of TV, IIR or MMW seekers). The airframe is made out of composites, powered by a turbojet.

The Mupsow is a South African development on which Kentron has been working under contract from the Air Force since 1991, with unpowered flight tests commencing in 1997. The MUPSOW is thought to be an extension of the H2 stand-off weapon program. It is not known if Mupsow has entered SAAF service.
